One of my best mail days in recent memory! 48 Darin Erstad 1998 Tek Diffractors and a few base cards I needed for my second set.
This puts my progress at:
46/89 Diffractors (pattern 49 doesn't exist.)
19 Diffractor doubles
2 Diffractor triples
89/90 Base set #1
88/90 Base set #2
This buy is...
Starting the year off with a bang!
6. Finish my 1998 Topps Tek base set for Darin Erstad. I am missing pattern 86. For my second set, I am missing a handful of patterns: 4, 12, 59, 64, 74, 86
Still no pattern 86 but I did score 4 patterns I am missing for set number 2.
7. Add at least 10 new...
Hopefully COMC runs another special. I did the 35 cent one recently and they took the full time to ingest everything. It was a few cards per day and then a giant block towards the end.

My goals for 2024
1. Continue liquidating anything that's not part of my player collections
2. Add 2+ game-used items from any of my favorite players (Darin Erstad, Will Clark, Eddie Murray, Bucky Jacobsen, Aaron Kurcz, Stacey Augmon)
3. Send off a batch of cards to PSA...
It's been a great year for my Erstad base set. Down to 3 remaining patterns:
4, 68, 86
12/90 Diffractors. Not sure I'll ever finish it but it'll be fun trying.

Also, a pair of 1998 Topps Tek base patterns I needed for my 90-card Erstad run. I'm down to only 3 missing patterns (4, 68, 86) and then only missing 77 diffractors. lol.
I'm in the "get rid of everything that's not PC" space. I've got 12-15 monster boxes full of player lots. What's the best way to get rid of these? I know I could probably make more by piecing them out as singles but that will take too long IMO.
